[R] truehist and density plots

[carol white]

Consider a vector of 100 elements (attached files). then, 

truehist(b)
lines(density(b[20:50]))

How is it possible to have density plots of all subsets like b[20:50] within histogram (without exceeding the max of historgram on y axis)?

Is it more clear?

Best,

I do not undertsand what you mean. Can you please provide a *reproducible*
example?

(see attached). how is it possible to make a graphics so that the density plot
of the subsets doesn't go beyond the maximum of all points in the complete
set?
